Biden won't fire his all-powerful, Master of Disaster, Chief of Staff Ron Klain, who is behind the White House's biggest failures. Maybe that's because Joe's not really in charge, writes JOHN FUND

The biggest news President Biden made at his news conference wasn't about Ukraine.
It was his brief answer to the question: 'Are you satisfied with your team here at the White House, sir?'
Biden, to the consternation of observers in both parties, answered curtly: 'I am satisfied with the team.'
For Washington insiders, the decision to keep his current team into his second year as president is inexplicable.
Senator Ben Sasse, a Republican not known for his partisanship, called on Biden to fire his chief of staff, Ron Klain, for pushing a 'guaranteed-to-fail vote' on killing the Senate filibuster that he argued was a political ploy.
'It's CYA (cover your ass) week in Washington,' Sasse told Fox News. He said the vote was held in part 'so that Ron Klain can throw some chum at the Democratic Party's progressive base.'
'Ron Klain thinks his own activists are dumb enough to fall for it.'
Sasse focused on Klain, because it's common knowledge that the 60-year-old backroom operator has unusual power in the Biden White House.
Klain first worked with Biden in 1987, when he was counsel to the Senate Judiciary Committee while Biden was chair and assisted Biden during his ill-fated 1988 presidential campaign. That campaign ended after Biden was caught plagiarizing a speech by Neil Kinnock, head of Britain's Labour Party.
Klain later served as Biden's chief of staff when he was Barack Obama's vice president.
